Alta Vista Retreat – Private Coastline View Resort
Less than a mile from the beach, a private and serene vacation retreat awaits you. Passing through the front gate, spectacular island and coastline views draw you forward. The panoramic view is best from the upper living area, which includes a Master Suite, Living Room, and Gourmet Kitchen. Stroll down to the lower level where you can enjoy ultra-private sunbathing on the pool patios and decks.
This elegant and quality 3 bedroom, 3 bath home was remodeled and furnished in 2008. A master suite is on the entry level, with a king bed and massive private bath. A large walk-in closet adds to the elegance.
The living room is on the same level and is tastefully appointed. It boasts a fireplace and large flat screen TV. While relaxing on the luxury sleeper sofa, you can enjoy the TV & the view at the same time!
The kitchen is fit for a gourmet chef with Viking appliances, new cabinets, and marble counter tops. It is fully stocked with everything a chef needs. Or forget the kitchen, and arrange with our Private Chef to buy your groceries and prepare fine dining for every meal.
The lower level has two more bedrooms which share a luxurious and spacious new bathroom. A king-size bed in one room, and two twins in the other, make it perfect for a second family. It even has its own small kitchen with large refrigerator. Please note: this lower level of the home is only accessible from an outdoor stairway - there is no indoor access from the upper level. From this special part of the home, you can watch as an amber sunset turns to indigo, and is reflected in the glassy water of the pool.
Alta Vista Retreat is a special Montecito getaway. The peace and quiet, combined with the views and resort amenities, are exactly what you need to truly relax. Allow us to share this relaxation with you soon!
